was made from some icing sugar and Nuttlex with a tablespoon or two of water. I have to say that I am in absolute awe of mums like my cousin who on a day-to-day basis have to think of food for their kids which are free from all food colourings, glutendairy , nuts etc

If you are not dairyfree you can top it with jam and whipped cream. This sponge cake turned out beautifully, I have been making sponges for a while now- well since I got my kitchen aid and except for once when I didn't whip my eggwhite for long enough before adding the sugar they have all worked out really well

It is also healthier than normal lasagne, due to the lack of dairyand bechamel sauce. It was inspired by this recipe, but with my sous chef Craig helping out, it took on a life of its own and became our unique take on it

When it gets cold, the cream rises to the top and thickens, just like thick dairy cream. for a nut free cake, leave walnuts out and add a couple of handfuls of shredded coconut with the sultanas instead

If you are avoiding dairy, use whichever milk you prefer and coconut oil in place of the butter. I have to admit, having Mellymaks Facebook page has made me a little more lazy about blogging because it is so easy to type up a quick recipe with a photo and, click, its out there

For those who avoid gluten, nuts and/ordairy, you definitely won't feel deprived here. My chocolate and beetroot fudge cake has proven to be a huge hit, both amongst friends and family as well as on this blog

I remembered seeing a pumpkin muffin recipe a while ago flicking through a free food magazine but couldn't remember what was in it so with what was left over I just had to try and create a yummy, gluten/nut/dairy/crapfree veggie smuggling sweet pumpkin muffin recipe for snack time and also a great one to take for morning tea at kindy

And please read the labels if you are making for glutenfree/dairyfreediets. And so I spend quite a bit of money on glutenfreedairyfree cookies for preschool lunchboxes at the start of the week and decided that it was definitely time to make my own recipe and do cookies for preschool
